Recently got an ’04 TSX. Ordered this kit to compensate for the lack of bluetooth, and it’s excellent! Only took about 30 minutes to install. The bluetooth streaming quality is excellent. There’s no distortion up at higher volumes. The microphone quality is also great, and I wired the mic right behind the steering wheel instead of up in the A pillar. I am a complete newbie when it comes to DIY car stuff, but following the install video made this super easy. Quick tip if you’re having trouble getting the harness cable into the head unit: you can use the magnifier app on your iPhone (or just your front facing camera) to view where the harness cable goes into the head unit. Overall, really happy with my purchase! Thanks GTA car kits!

Great product!Shipping was fast, about 3-4 business days.
The pure Bluetooth interface wasn’t extremely hard to install, took about 30 min for the full install including making the hole in the compartment, the sound quality is perfect and the phone calls sound incredibly good! Totally worth the price! My only complaint is not having purchased sooner!

I have been using the GTA car kit for close to 4 years now. i chose the pure bluetooth and it literally is the best money spent. I can’t say how happy i am. customer service is also really really good.

Worth the money and the wait. Not GTA Car Kits fault for the slow delivery. USPS is just slow. Back to the point. I have a 2004 TSX, second owner, low mileage, immaculate. Missing the current tech for blue tooth. This unit solved that problem and now my wife is not as mad at me for me buing an older car. The install was very simple, the music is clear, and the hands free phone capability is safe and works beautifully. Extremely satisfied and their customer service was TOP NOTCH!

I just received this kit today and wow I am more than happy. My 05 tsx is now fully equipped with the wired kit and the quality is great. For someone who wants high quality streaming through your car’s speakers, this is a must buy as it is a very excellent kit. I have an iPhone 7 and had to buy the apple 30 pin to lightning adapter for my phone. I plugged it in right under my radio in under a minute. I drilled a hole right through the storage compartment that needed to be removed and fed the cord through there and it fits like a glove. Some tips for someone who bought or is buying the kit. 1) Yes, it is 90$ but it will be the best $90 you have ever spent. 2) Make sure if you are using the charging cable that you switch back to disk one when just playing from your music library. 3) Zip tie/tape the kit in behind your compartment. It will make it much easier to store and keep in good condition. 4) Buy this kit! Thank you GTA Car Kits!!

I’ve had my kit installed for 6 months so far. I was skeptical at first, but it works exactly as described in the instructional videos. Installation was quick and simple, just follow the video, they do an amazing job explaining everything. One difference i did notice was my center console storage had a light in the hole they show on the video, I used a drill to make a separate hole. One problem i do find myself running into is when 2 phones are connected via bluetooth and one disconnects, the system keeps making a noise either letting me know of the disconnect or attempting to reconnect. I solve this by either restarting the car, or disconnecting the primary phone and clearing the systems memory ( all explained in the pamphlet ). I’m sure there’s a solution for this but I’ve been too lazy to really find it. Call quality is great, no complaints there. Connecting to devices is simple. I know the Aux system is more economical, but the Pure Bluetooth kit is worth the money! Don’t settle!

– installed in 2004 Acura TSX without navigation, followed the video – took 10 mins
– bluetooth connection is quick and sound is clear
– AUX – finally figured out when playing from cd changer, you need to press CD and then “6” button (scan?) to switch t

Just installed this in my 2004 Acura TSX with navigation. Followed the instructions per the video and it works great! Installation of the pure bluetooth unit was very simple, and took be just about 30 minutes. The most time consuming part is routing the microphone up the A-Pillar. I made a test call and they said I was very clear on the other end.
The unit connects to my phone and plays spotify perfectly. Steering wheel controls work too. Also, it sounds great!
10/10 would buy again. I hope this unit lasts long!

I almost never give reviews but this product is a must!!! I’ve been looking everywhere just so i could listen to music off my phone in my car. I tried the Fm Transmitters the one that plugs into your cig lighter and the FM Modules where it hooks up directly to your antenna both CRAP quality of sound!!! and then i came across GTA and to actually find something that would hook up directly to my stock stereo, i was in such RELIEF!!!!! I bought this kit for my 05 Acura TSX. The sound is crystal clear, and the bass buuuuumps haha. long story short i am a very happy customer and it was well worth my money. thanks GTA 😀

I bought this GTA car kit for my 2004 Acura TSX. Shipping was very quick and installation took me only 5 or 6 minutes. I only needed the AUX cable since I don’t use an iPhone/iPod so I only installed it with the AUX cable fed through the side of the compartment that I pulled out to install the device. Sound is crystal clear and I haven’t had any issues whatsoever. I have the AUX plugged into my Samsung GS4 and I’m able to listen to music and GPS directions. Since I have my phone sitting right in front of me on a mount, I even answer calls and carry conversations hands free. I can hear people through my speakers just fine and people can hear me on the other end with no problems.
Thank you GTA car kits for a great product! I am a very happy customer!

I was searching for a fully integrated ipod connection for my 2006 Acura TSX and then I found out about GTA Car Kits. I then contacted them and since I live close to their office I scheduled an installation for the following day. I could have installed their kit myself but I didn’t want to wait any longer and had the guys do it for me. The actual install took less than 10 minutes and the guys at GTA Car Kit were very knowledgeable and professional. Unlike many other similar products GTA Car Kit is very easy to install and allows you to keep all standard functionality of your car stereo such as CD playback (all 6 CDs). I went with their basic ipod integration kit but for extra $50 I could have had them install a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver which would have allowed me to stream my music onto my car’s OEM stereo system. Overall I’m very happy with GTA Car Kits and would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Amazing product and great staff!!!

Found GTA Car Kits by searching car forums online for auxilary integration with the factory stereo in my TSX 2004. I picked your kit because FM transmitter would not provide adequate sound quality, and non-factory stereos are difficult to install/integrate in the TSX.
Shipping was quick, less than a week.
Installation was very easy and only took about 10-15 minutes. No tools were required, and the video was very helpful.
I am using the kit with a Samsung Galaxy S4 (AUX), older iPod (non-Touch), and an iPhone 4S. I ran the auxilary cable through a hole in the storage compartment just beneath the stereo. I ran the iPod cable underneath the stereo, and then out from under the plastic center console trim piece on the passenger side.
I like the integration with the CD/AUX button on the factory stereo and the ability to have both an iPod/iPhone connector as well as a 3.5 aux cable. The ability to use the SEEK buttons on the factory stereo to change tracks on a iPod/iPhone is nice as well.
Thanks

I found your company on the internet via search engine (Google). I didn’t wanna buy an FM transmitter due to bad sound quality and interference.
The shipping took less than a week.
It took about 10 minutes to install without any extra tools, but 15-20 minutes to try to hide the kit.
The video was very helpful and I relied on it to install my kit. It made the installation a lot easier because I knew what to do step by step. If it wasn’t for the video, I don’t think I would have taken the risk to buy the kit and not be able to install it myself.
I use Iphone and Ipod and hide the cables behind the radio.
The feature that I like the most about my GTA car kit is that I can recharge my phone while listening to music. That way, I don’t have to carry a car charger anymore. I also like the fact that I am still able to fully control my playlist via my steering wheel commands.
Overall GTA Car kit is a good product and I would absolutely recommend it to friends.

Great Great Great Product!!! Just installed it today on my 05 TSX; one of the easiest upgrades to your stock radio while still maintaining that original look, while enjoying your iPod/MP3 player!!! So LONG BORING RADIO!!!

Thanks you Gta carkit, just got my kit. As a owner of a 04 tsx there is not many options to aftermarket stereo and this kit is the easiest way to play my music through my phone.
It works very good with the auxiliary cable with my android phone. I don’t have a apple product so I can’t test the other connection but I’m sure it work also.
To all tsx 04-08 owner with dim radio light or non working CD player n changer, this kit will still work perfect. No more FM transmitter for me. Get this kit.

Hello,
I wanted to let you know that I took a chance and installed your car kit on my 2004 Acura TSX, in part because my mechanic thought it would cost upwards of $100 for him to install it. I am not particularly handy and can say that the only things I’ve done to my car are fill it with gas, occasionally check the tire pressure, and once in awhile add windshield wiper fluid. With the instructions that you provided and reading a couple of other suggestions on web forums, I was able to install my kit in just a few minutes (not counting drilling the hole into the storage bin) with only a flashlight and my compact mirror. It works and sounds great—I just wish I’d discovered your kit earlier since I’ve been listening to poor quality FM receivers for four years!
Thanks for making such a great product so easy to install!

I learned about GTA Car Kits from searching the Internet for a product to use in the car that would connect my iPod.
I had previously purchased an fm transmitter but was disappointed with the sound quality.
The product arrived 4 business days after I ordered it.
Instillation was fairly easy, and took about 30 minutes. It did require some drilling, but the installation video was very helpful.
I am using an iPhone 4, and ran the cable underneath the car radio.
I like the ability to use the steering wheel controls to switch playlists and adjust the volume the best.
I believe the GTA car kit is worth every penny and produces amazing quality sound. The Car Kit is also small and easy to store. I have already began recommending this product to my friends and family!

I have tried an fm transmitter and was discouraged, after I kept searching for a better alternative, I finally came across GTA CAR KIT.
Shipping was right on time, although I had to wait through the weekend!!
The installation was so simple, it took more time opening up the box that the kit came in than actually hooking up the whole kit!! The video installation on youtube was the whole selling point for me! I did not buy any extra tools, and the video was extremely helpful!
I am using an Iphone 3gS and the cables are tucked away nicely behind the center storage under the radio, I drilled a hole in the back of the storage bin so the actual adapter that the cables plug into is not seen. VERY CLEAN THIS WAY!
I like the ability to charge my phone, and also it picks up right where it left off… However the best features of the kit I like most are the product itself being a TRUE “PLUG-N-PLAY” SYSTEM. The cord that connects to my phone is super long making the phone totally maneuverable!!!
WOW, THAT WAS THE BEST 100$ I HAVE EVER SPENT!! I HAVE RECOMMENDED YOUR PRODUCT TO EVERYONE I KNOW!
